Codman Square

To serve as a resource for improving the physical, mental and social well-being of the community. *** We opened our doors in 1979 with a dream: to build the best urban community in America. As part of this dream, we recognized that though health care begins by alleviating sickness, the journey to a true "culture of health" is achieved through the health of the whole person, and through the health of the whole community.  Our two-physician staff that summer of 1979 may have been small, but our mantra was not: while disease is a lack of health, health is not simply a lack of disease.

Today, with a staff of 280 employees, expert clinicians and medical staff, and an astounding depth and breadth of community programs, we believe that we are on our way toward reaching our dream of building the best urban community in America. The Codman Square Health Center is committed to continued progress and we hope you will join us in fulfilling our vision of a culture of health in our community.

Christ the King is focused on being a church in the city for those who are in need of the grace of God. We want CTK Dorchester to help meet the spiritual needs of those in the neighborhood. We would hope as we get settled to exist in a cooperative atmosphere among the many Christian endeavors in Dorchester, adding to that mix our own emphases on God honoring worship, expositional preaching, hopeful evangelism and community service.
